Why can't I load thumb drives?


Hi

Basic question, probably.  I have about 400 MB of flac files on a hard drive in a windows computer.  I have, in the past, transferred the whole thing to other hard drives with no problem.  But when I try to load into a thumb drive  the transfer bogs down and stops.

A friend tells me that memory chips are no good in this capacity.  Is this true or is there something I can do to effect the transfer?

@wbs I have many high capacity USB drives that I use for back-up and transferring files the largest I have is 1TB.

Assuming you are using Windows (don't ask about Mac), I would first deep format the USB drive, not quick format, using NTFS first.

Do not create any partitions. See if this works and you can load files and play them.

If not try again using ex-FAT and lastly FAT.

Are your files FLAC, WAV or something else?
